The race to build the world’s most efficient solar cell is no longer a theoretical contest inside physics labs, it is a high‑stakes engineering sprint that will shape how quickly the global energy ...

Light can hit a lead halide perovskite crystal that is anything but pristine and still end up as useful electric current. That mismatch has bothered solar researchers for more than a decade. Silicon ...

A group of scientists from Chinese solar module maker Longi has described in a new scientific paper the 27.81%-efficient hybrid interdigitated back-contact (HIBC) solar cell it unveiled in April 2025.

Engineers at UNSW Sydney have developed a way to monitor solar cells at a microscopic level while they are operating to discover exactly how damage caused by ultraviolet light can be naturally ...

Professor Yoke Khin Yap and his research group are improving the efficiency of solar cells one quantum dot at a time. × To sustainably power our digital future, the world needs more — and more ...

A new study in Science shows that the incorporation of a synthetic molecule into the design enhances the energy efficiency and longevity of perovskite solar cells. The benefits of the molecule, known ...

A team of researchers from Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE) and German technology company LPKF Laser & Electronics SE have developed a low-temperature ...
